In my experience, maths grads can be really good at very specialised engineering problems like digital signal processing. Beyond that though they tend to produce poorly structured code that will be difficult to maintain. If their problem requires a sizeable amount of code and they have no experience with software engineering best practices then it's best to pair them up with someone that has.
